Radiation Deaths Tied to Nevada Nuclear Tests, Air Force Pilots Cited
Atlantic writer Paul Jacobs claims two Air Force pilots monitoring the 1953 Nevada atomic test died of leukemia while two others fell ill. He notes civilians in Nevada Utah areas and 5,000 soldier participants filing VA claims, and warns that civilian and plant exposures may exceed weapon tests in risk. He cites Dr Edward Teller on reactor dangers and details pilot deaths and injuries without conclusive proof of direct fallout effects.
